Mend's Retirement

Hey everyone! I have some really exciting news if you weren't already aware: my wife and I are having a baby! With mini-Mend on the way in the coming months, I feel it's time to close this chapter of my life and start writing the next. I will be retiring when Tomb of Sargeras is released. This game has meant more to me than almost everything else besides my family and friends for the past 12+ years (since Vanilla beta). Being part of the HowToPriest community for the past few years, and being a moderator here for the past few months has opened my eyes to how amazing the World of Warcraft still is.

To all the friends I've made, and to all the people that encouraged me, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've always loved to teach and help people, I'm just glad I got the opportunity to do it at such a large scale and for people across the globe. I'll always look back at this time in my life with happiness and satisfaction knowing that such a great community effects so many peoples lives in a positive way.

Lob and Atloreian will be continuing the work here, and they will do a better job than I, I'm sure of it. I will be sticking around until ToS is released and helping ensure content is created in a timely fashion and a new Disc Team is assembled to help continue that flow of content after my departure.

Again, thank you everyone who has been active in this channel and thank you to the thousands of people who have watched my videos, asked questions on Reddit, the official forums, and MMO Champion for the encouragement and experience of a lifetime.

Thanks for being a great contributor to the Disc community. You gave selflessly and always in a kind manner. Your work has helped me many times in the past and I was always grateful for the resources you made available to us. I will miss not having you around as I thoroughly respected your thoughts on the class and game.

I haven't posted in the disc section of this site yet. It's not that i didn't want to be part of the disc cult. I guess i never felt in need of answers... i followed your guide to the T and and it's information has never let me down. Thanks for opening up this spec for me. It has been a rewarding experience to play discipline priest, and thanks to your guide and your other material has it even been possible. Thanks for your contributions mend. Good luck with the fatherhood!
